Description

This full-color, consumable, set of 10 worktexts, and full course Teacher’s Guide will provide a broad survey of the major areas of science. These include the study of cells, plants and animals, ecology, energy, geology, properties of matter, and the natural cycles of life. The curriculum seeks to develop students' ability to understand and participate in scientific inquiry. Students at this level should begin to understand interrelationships between organisms, recognize patterns in ecosystems, and become aware of the cellular dimensions of living systems. Collectively, this helps students develop and build on their subject-matter knowledge base. Each of the worktexts should take 3-4 weeks to accomplish. All pages are perforated to accommodate students who may need a worksheet approach, rather than the entire book at one time. The detailed Teacher’s Guide provides possible scheduling options, answer keys to each worktext, material lists for each unit, alternate tests, and more. ~Amber
